LGM2W221MELA30

The LGM2W221MELA30 is a Nichicon LGM series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a snap‑in terminal, radial can package. It delivers 220 µF at a 450 V rating in an ultra‑smaller 25 × 30 mm case intended to support equipment downsizing while maintaining high voltage capability.

Designed for general‑purpose use, the part is specified for operation from −25 °C to +105 °C, RoHS compliant, and offers endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated DC bias plus ripple current.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance rated for 450 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑temperature Endurance — Rated for operation up to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions.
• Compact Snap‑in Package — Snap‑in terminal, radial can construction in a 25 × 30 mm case (L × D) to support equipment downsizing and secure board mounting.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current defined as I ≤ 3√(C·V) μA after 5 minutes at rated voltage (20 °C), providing predictable post‑assembly behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 550 mA (120 Hz, 105 °C); frequency coefficient data provided for scaling ripple at higher frequencies (e.g., 1.43 at 50 kHz or more).
• Loss Tangent — Tan δ specified at 0.20 max (120 Hz, 20 °C), enabling designers to account for dissipation in thermal and lifetime calculations.
• Polarized, General‑Purpose Use — Polarized electrolytic capacitor suited for a wide range of general‑purpose power circuits where a compact high‑voltage capacitor is required.
• RoHS Compliance — Manufactured in compliance with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power circuits — Use where 220 µF at 450 V is required and a compact, snap‑in aluminum electrolytic supports board-level power filtering and decoupling.
• Equipment downsizing — Suited to designs that prioritize reduced case size, offering a one‑rank smaller footprint than comparable LGL series parts.
• High‑temperature environments — Applicable in systems needing operation up to 105 °C with defined 2000‑hour endurance at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑saving form factor: One rank smaller case than LGL series enables smaller board area for high‑voltage capacitance.
• High voltage in a compact can: 450 V rating combined with 220 µF capacitance provides significant energy storage without a large footprint.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current defined by I ≤ 3√(C·V), allowing accurate margining in product design and testing.
• Thermal and lifetime assurance: Specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions supports reliability planning for high‑temperature applications.
• Designed for board robustness: Snap‑in radial can construction provides secure mechanical mounting for through‑hole power assemblies.
• RoHS‑compliant manufacturing: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for material compliance in commercial and industrial products.
